Shut Up, You Stupid Commercial

Why do so many commercials have songs with people that can't sing?  They usually have some woman who try's to do this weird, deep, up-and-down, sing-songy, redneck sounding thing with their voice.  I can't explain the sound they make any better than that, but I can't tell you that it sounds freakin stupid.

And now to annoy the crap out of you:
Here's commercial number 1.  The girl is cute, but that's all the commercial has going for it.

Here's commercial number 2.  Ditto what was said about commercial number 1.  But she's not as cute.

On a better note, I did find a cool forum about crappy commercials while looking for the links to these crappy commercials.

Why do the dumbest people always have the most kids?!?

This is wrong.  Just wrong.

Those Damn Floods

Well, they opened the Morganza Spillway today.  My dad's house and my brother's house will both be saved, but the fishing camp in Butte la Rose is gonna be flooded.  Not good.  It really sucked watching the water fill up the field that I have driven/ ridden by all my life.  This is the first time that the spillway has been opened since 1973, and I wasn't around until 1980.  Oh, and I know the guys that own that field, thats why I care.

Oh well, it could be worse.  The spillway could NOT be there, then Baton Rouge and New Orleans would flood.  Then I'd have no place to call home.  Well, except for Lafayette.  Blah.

Okay, thats enough depressing shit for one night.

That is all.

December 21st, 2012

I have been reading some weird comments on a "news" site that is apparently frequented by idiots, and there were a bunch of posts about 2012.  Everyone is so worried that the end of the world is coming and that we will all die.

I like watching all of the end of the world shows on the History and Discovery Channels, so have thought about this before.  What if the Mayan calender ends on December 21st, 2012 because the guy got bored?  What if he thought, "This thing repeats 5 times.  If they don't get it by now, then screw 'em."

Or, what if he got offered a better job in another town?  Maybe his wife gave him an ultimatum, "If you don't leave that damn calender alone, I'm leaving you and taking the kids to my mother's!"  Maybe he died.

There are many reasons that he might have stopped writing the calender, and I'd be willing to bet that the end of the world isn't one of them.
